BIG-TIME silver-lining here IMO, Goose is the first LHW that people will actually pay to see Jones rematch with down the line. I don't care about seeing Machida or Evans II, but I'd pay to see that again with a couple more wins under Goose's belt.

Really wanted Gus to win but I learned a while back with the Rua/Shogun fights, if you want to beat the champ, you have to dominate him. Going the full duration, the judges lean towards the champ every time. Great fight either way, had me on the edge of my seat!

It all came down to that last round. I think that beautiful spinning elbow in the 4th won Jones the fight, it took so much out of goose going into the 5th. Goose impressed me a lot in this fight, I didn't think he would have much to offer jones, but he was a hair away from winning that fight. I would love to see gus win a few and get another shot at jones, imagine if he won a rematch and they had a third fight.. it would be the most epic rubber match ever. Don't know how likely that is, but a guy can dream lol.

Fantastic fight!!! Gustoffson was truly a worthy challenger, and his footwork imo is his biggest asset. He busted up Jones worse than Ive ever seen before and almost won. As for Jones, he REALLLLLLLLLYYYYY needs to work on his dirty boxing, and setting up his takedowns with strikes. Say what you want about Jon Jones, but this man has an indomitable will to win and is officially battle tested.

How'd you figure that? Gus took Jones down and controlled the stand up all round.

IMO best Jones could've hoped for in that fight was a draw, Goose won round 1 and 2 easily the 3rd was close but I'm pretty sure it was Goose's. The fourth was close with a clear argument for both fighters the fifth was Bones' fucking judges should pay attention to overall strikes landed, agression and control, fuck that 1 big move wins a round no matter what happens the rest of it.
